Has anyone had their teeth whitened?

Did it work? How did it work? Is it scary/ dangerous/ easy? Any opinions?

Yes

They make a malleable outline of your teeth. It's kind of like a plastic glove that fits your teeth exactly. To do that they stick doughy stuff in your mouth to get an imprint of your teeth.

When that's come back from wherever it gets made (1/2 weeks) you go back in and they put some bleach in the form of a gel in the glove-thingy and you walk around dribbling for 45 minutes then they clean it off.

Then they give you some more bleach-gel to take home with you and you do a bit of DIY with it.

It does work. Not sure how good it is for your teeth though.

Or you can have laser whitening, which doesn't involve any horrible moulds, and takes just an hour. LittleLapin has said on a previous thread that she's had this done.

Which method are you interested in?

it will make your teeth really sensitive for days (hurt tons) then your smile will look unnatural

I wasn't sure, I wasn't told about the laser thing. She did say it can make your teeth feel sensitive though.
